Pre-Owned 2002 The Heritage H535 Old Style Sunburst with Hardshell Case

The Heritage H535: A semi hollow classic with expanded tonal control

Vintage Semi Hollow Tone and Construction

Built in 2002, this H535 delivers the familiar air and resonance of a true semi hollow design with a solid center block anchoring the response. Laminated curly maple top and back pair with a solid maple rim to produce a tone that is nice and lively. Notes bloom with natural sustain while chords retain clarity and depth, making this a versatile platform for any play style.

HRW Pickups and VIP Vari Phase Electronics

Loaded with HRW Gold pickups, this guitar offers a rich and expressive voice. What sets this example apart is the Heritage VIP Vari Phase system, instead of fixed phase switching, the dual roller controls allow you to sweep between in phase and out of phase tones. This creates a wide range of usable textures from full humbucking warmth to thinner, cutting tones with unique character. The passive design keeps the signal pure with no need for batteries.

Playability and Neck Feel

The one piece mahogany neck features a comfortable soft C profile with a 12 inch radius rosewood fingerboard. It feels familiar and broken in, offering smooth movement across all 22 frets. The shorter 24 3/4 inch scale adds a slightly slinkier feel, making bends and vibrato effortless while maintaining strong note definition.

Condition and Real World Use

This is a true player grade instrument that has seen time in a working environment. There is moderate wear consistent with use in a gigging band, including numerous dings, dents, and scratches. The bridge and tailpiece have been replaced. All cosmetic wear is documented in the photo set. None of this detracts from the instrument’s structural integrity or performance. It remains a solid, reliable tool with serious capability, and plenty of gigs left to play.

Appointments and Included Case

The guitar includes a hardshell TKL case for protection and transport. This is a well appointed American made semi hollow with expanded tonal flexibility that goes far beyond standard designs.
